I am looking for resources and references for a MySql equivalent to MSSql SMO. Also, is SMO the newest technology for programmatic management of Sql server?
Hi,
One of my friends got the access database with Forms (VBA) and wish to migrate all the database table to the newly installed MOSS 2007 site.
He is using SSMI for this purpose. He cannot do it because there are plenty of errors and warnings. I think it is due to the old Access queries.
Is there any other way to import the database to sql 2005 from access ?
Thanks
I have a table records(ID, ParentID) containg this data
ID ParentID
1 null
2 1
3 2
3 4
4 5
6 null
7 6
If you draw this table in hierarchy as a family 1,2,3,4,5 will be related to each other.
I want to find a way, where I can pass an ID like 3 it give me the others family members using SQL or using C#
3 - result 1,2,4,5
2 - result 1,3,4,5
6 - result 7
and so on
I want to find my parent and his parents and childs and my child and his childs
LIKE THE EXAMPLES
I have an SQL function which returns a list of Teams.
I want to join an additional list to that list with a union, but only if it returns more than one rows.
Something like:
CREATE FUNCTION Teams()
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
SELECT * FROM TABLE1
UNION
if @@rowcount>1
SELECT * FROM TABLE2
end if
)
I'm doing a little digging and looking for a explanation on how SQL server evaluates MIN(Varchar).
I found this remark in BOL: MIN finds the lowest value in the collating sequence defined in the underlying database
So if I have a table that has one row with the following values:
Data
AA
AB
AC
Doing a SELECT MIN(DATA) would return back AA. I just want to understand the why behind this and understand the BOL a little better.
Thanks!
Hi all,
I would like to know how to measure/know that one's stored procedure is optimum in performance. That stored procedure can be inserting/deleting/updating or manipulating data in that procedure. Please describe the way/approach how to know performance in SQL Server.
Thanks in advance!
For Data Explorer I would like to add support for a Batch separator.
So for example if users type in:
select 'GO' go select 1 as go
Go
select 100
I would like to return the three result sets.
Its clear that I need some sort of parser here, my hope is that this is a solved problem and I can just plug it in. (writing a full T-SQL parser is not something I would like to do)
What component / demo code could achieve splitting this batch into its 3 parts?
I am using Castle ActiveRecord as my ORM. When I try to store unicode strings, I get question marks instead.
Saving unicode strings worked perfectly when I was using mysql, but when I recently switch to SQL Server it broke. How should I go about fixing this?
I am working to make a basic file database, but I couldn't find the true codes.
Can anyone help me to save an exe file to sql database after read, download and use when I need it? With Delphi
I have an application which intensively uses DB (SQL Server).
As it must have high performance I would like to know the fastest way to insert record into DB.Fastest from the standpoint of execution time.
What should I use ?
As I know the fastest way is to create stored procedure and to call it from code (ADO.NET).
Please let me know is there any better way or may be there are is some other practices to increase performance.

I have been playing around with creation of pdf documents for a project that I'm working on. I would like to store the generated pdf document in a SQL database and then later be able to retrieve this pdf as well.
What are some suggestions for doing this? Can the document be stored in the database without physically creating the document on the server?
Hi,
I have recently discovered the tablediff utility of SQL Server 2005.
I have 2 instances of the same database each on a different server.
Is it possible to compare all tables using tablediff without having to replicate the same command while only changing the table name?
For example, compare table1 on server1 with table1 on server2 then compare table2 on server1 with table2 on server2, until all tables have been compared.
Any experiences on how to document Entity Framework 4 based Database projects?
There is the Document and Summary properties on the Entities, but if we want to regenerate the model from the database at some point, it will be lost!
Is there some way to map documentation data inside SQL to the Entities in the EDMX file so it is safe.
Suggestions of other best practices? Ideally I want to be able to augo generate html/helpfile documentation from the DB when we deploy.
Im using Native SQL from ABAP language. The query to get data is something like this
SELECT COUNT(ROWID)
FROM <SCHEMANAME>.<TABLENAME>;@<DATABASENAME>
INTO :localvariable
I want to somehow set the schemaname and database name as default so that i do not need to use them in the SELECTs later. Then i can only use the table name in the SELECT.
thanks !!

I have a SQL Server 2008 database with 300 tables. The application I have to design is an Windows Forms app, .NET 3.5, C#.
Which is the best way to work with LINQ2SQL ?
I intend to make a datacontext for each business entity.
Is there any problem ?
I need to know if this way of working with LINQ has any disadvantage or can create performance issues ?
Thanks.
Hi everyone,
SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE (SELECT DISTINCT jobs.* FROM jobs, job_requests WHERE (jobs.user_id = 1) OR (job_requests.user_id = 1 AND job_requests.job_id = jobs.id))
This sql gives me Mysql::Error: Operand should contain 1 column(s). If i execute the select from the where clause it works SELECT DISTINCT jobs.* FROM jobs, job_requests WHERE (jobs.user_id = 1) OR (job_requests.user_id = 1 AND job_requests.job_id = jobs.id)
Could somebody explain me why? This query is generated by rails activerecord so the main select is needed.
Situation:
Running a report on SQL Server Reporting Services
When I do a Preview of the Report all my charts look fine. No problems.
When I run a subscription for the report, the chart look different. Like completely different legends are gone etc.
Any ideas what the cause would be?
BTW the charts are Dundas Charts.
Are there any formal techniques for refactoring SQL similar to this list here that is for code?
I am currently working on a massive query for a particular report and I'm sure there's plenty of scope for refactoring here which I'm just stumbling through myself bit by bit.
Why is the ( ) mandatory in the SQL statement
select * from gifts INNER JOIN sentgifts using (giftID);
? The ( ) usually is for specifying grouping of something. But in this case, are we supposed to be able to use 2 or more field names... in the example above, it can be all clear that it is 1 field, is it just that the parser is not made to bypass the ( ) when it is all clear? (such as in the language Ruby).
